Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Link On Demand at 4.8 against COOP Rideshare's 4.3. Link On Demand also leads on ratings volume (587 vs 50). COOP Rideshare's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Link On Demand holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Link On Demand has 587 ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Link On Demand's written reviews are positive against 65% of COOP Rideshare's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Link On Demand ships an update monthly, COOP Rideshare every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
